Abstract

A volumetric analysis by 3-dimensional intravascular ultrasound revealed that lipid-lowering therapy with pravastatin significantly reduced coronary plaque volume. The changes in plaque volume were inversely correlated with the changes in plasma levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol but not with changes in levels of total cholesterol or low-density lipoprotein cholesterol.
